Not even going to bother totally up this seasons output or income, too depressing.
From memory November before last we broke the 5,000 kilos of RSS, this season no sheet at all.
Hand to mouth income only, selling our last lot today, off to Macro Saturday to stock up with food for the down time.

Things don't pick up will have no tappers after Song Kran, no fertilizer put down for end of season, not looking good.

Just reading about a co op going broke down south, no buyers and can't service their loans, won't be the last to go under.
Phoned the bank about the car loan, their good for 3 months, so it's sit back and see what happens.

Don't understand it at all, just seems to be no big buyers in the world market, but tires are still being used, no substitute for rubber, synthetic can only be a small percentage of tires or they fall apart.
Big picture stuff, as said 2009 repeat.

Best of luck to all you rubber guys, lets hope we are all smiling in 3 months. Jim
